The revolution to come
The revolution to come
comes with us
on our little tentative steps
do what makes you come alive
that is revolution enough
and brings in the larger

Creative people: greetings!
Creative people: greetings!
to grow, to do it well
walk the path within the path
we’re not full grown and never to be
dance to the music many do not hear
attend the birds who, falling, are given wings
lay bare the soul of the people
repeat after me, I set me on fire, watch me burn
:- Doug.
A brilliance of butterflies
What is a group of butterflies? I was thinking it was a brilliance, but did not find that right off. The words I am finding are rabble, flight, swarm. Also kaleidoscope, flutter, rainbow. Well then I will name them a brilliance!

We free the body of its tasks
We free the body of its tasks
We free the spirit to works within

A paradox as we age:
A paradox as we age:
We discard the unessential
Yet we grow, take in panoramas
:- Doug.
What does bringing our authentic selves mean as we age?
What does bringing out our authentic selves mean as we age?
As we peel away the layers, the roles, the masks
Does this question become more urgent?
And what of our friends who are there and no longer there?
Some of us do not care, and some maybe pretend not to care….

Footprints in the Windsm # 1430–Make poetry of everything, & every day
Footprints in the Windsm # 1430
Make poetry of everything, & every day
Write, and write again, speak spirit
Work is where inspiration shows up
The people you meet, the work you are presented
Need your voice, your very own voice
It is for the ages or only this dying moment:
What business is that of yours?
Please pass it on.

not as scary as dust
what conversation means:
a change, a death: a scary thing,
but not as scary as turning to dust

Butterflies from the pressure cooker
Butterflies from the pressure cooker:
Invite in three-legged caterpillars
—Power, Heart, Knowledge—
Good heads plus good hearts
Plus a tangled question
Turn up the heat
Out they come in profusion!
